Leaving your home is always scary, but I believe different countries help us get perspective. And that is exactly what I got when I traveled to Bluefields, Nicaragua. My church supports two missionaries in that Central American city, so we decided to go to the beautiful coastal town of Bluefields. Traveling to that part of the world had been a dream for many people in my church, including me. A small group of people planned the trip and soon we were on a plane anxiously awaiting our new experience

When directly by the lot the trucks are having many sleek metal components unloaded onto the pavement. As time progresses these metal components began to take

As a child he was introverted and preferred to play in solitude, and soon became noticed for his talents in the classroom.

Anthony Bourdain once stated, “Travel changes you. As you move through this life and this world you change things slightly, you leave marks behind, however small. And in return, life and travel leaves marks on you. Most of the time, those marks, on your body or on your heart are beautiful. Often, though, they hurt¨, however travel changes the ways we see the world. A synonym for travelling is wanderlust.

In order to be good parent, one must be supportive of their child’s goals, teach them morals and values, and take on the responsibility of being a good parents. Examples of these qualities are shown through the works The Glass Castle by Jeannette Walls, “My Papa’s Waltz” by Theodore Roethke, and “Roaring Tigers, Anxious Choppers” by Nancy Gibbs. These three works are written about families in which the parents sometimes are not good parents to their children. Every good parent should support their
Educational Goals and Philosophy As a child, playing “school” occupied most of my time. My younger sister and I taught a bedroom full of stuffed animals and filled in imaginary names in our old school books. From the bad bears and loud bunnies to the good puppies and smart kittens, each stuffed animal possessed his or her own personality. The thought of teaching never entered into my mind when I was asked, “What do you want to be when you grow up?” Uncertain about the career field that I
wounded, two geese drop out of formation and follow it down to help and protect it. They stay with it until it dies or is able to fly again. They launch out with another formation or catch up with the flock (Lessons on Teamwork from Geese, 1999). Bluefield College has a unique flock of geese that meet every Thursday night in the Science building on the second floor in room # 222.

The Non-Traditional structure that I chose to design is a log home. When doing research on styles of construction I was a little overwhelmed with the options that are available for construction methods. The first thing I needed to find out is what type of footing and foundation is needed to support the immense weight of the logs. An 8"x16" footing and 8" foundation is sufficient enough to support the weight of a log home. There are three different options available for supporting the floor joist
